Red Lily Beetle

A little while ago I followed blog about Red Lily Beetle, saying that as I live in Norhumberland we do not have those pests up here. Too far north. Guess what? Shock horror! Today I found one on one of my lilies!!! First time I have ever seen one, it got the ‘hammer treatment’ of course. Checked all other lily plants, no sign of them. All I can say is, all you garden centres down south stop exporting lily beetles up north!! A word for all you gardeners in Scotland, watch out, they seem to be on their way to you!
